GenAge entry for FLT1 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 171)

HGNC symbol: FLT1
Aliases: VEGFR1; FLT
Common name: fms-related tyrosine kinase 1

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
Description: Also known as VEGFR1, FLT1 is a receptor for VEGFA involved in its signalling cascade [975]. Mice without FLT1 die at embryonic stages [782]. In mouse skeletal muscle FLT1 expression levels have been reported to decline with age [1624]. FLT1 has not been directly related to human ageing.
